    Summary

    Rudely forced to have emotions again, Shockwave is sent into a spiral with the realization of the atrocities he’s committed. Considering himself alone (other than his obnoxious ‘pet’ Spark-Eater that he’s been trying to train) to deal with this in the age of a prosperous new Cybertron and newly granted freedom as part of Decepticon Reintegration Measures, Shockwave will have to navigate the awfulness of experiencing feelings.

    Maybe he can find a way to get rid of them again. Brief flickers of happiness don’t seem worth all of this.

    Is he as alone as he thinks? If he’s not, will that make things even worse?

    (Story based in the universe of my other fic, however, it’s NOT necessary to read that one first to understand this fic.)

    Summary

    With Megatron lost to barely-charted space, Shockwave must turn to less-conventional sources of information to discern his Lord’s whereabouts. The fact that his mark is cute is just a bonus.

    Summary

    Post-war, Shockwave is directionless after Cybertron has fallen to the Autobots. Hopeless—not that he felt hope, because he didn't feel anything, and you were misinformed if anybot told you otherwise—he wonders what to do with his life, now. No bot respects his scientific expertise anymore, but he doesn't need anyone to, so that's fine.

    Starscream escaped the Predacons, but can you believe how he's being treated like some sort of low-ranking criminal? How dare the Autobots try to throw him away to rot in jail. And after everything he's done for them! They probably wouldn't have even won the war, if it hadn't been for all of Starscream's help.

    After chance (or not so chance) meetings with enemy bots, can they manage to recover what the war has stolen from them? And can the Autobots they meet heal from what they gave up on the path to stopping Megatron? Also, why did The Thirteen bring Optimus back from the dead?

    Summary

    The Autobots and Decepticons had been gone for quite some time--long enough without contact from his side that he wondered if anybot even remembered he was still out here. Watching. Waiting. Surveilling and keeping reports no one would probably ever read.

    Not that there was much activity on a dead planet to report. The only sign of life was the other abandoned bot, but that wasn't exactly a possibility for friendship, was it? Shockwave had a reputation, even if Cosmos ignored the fact he was on the other side in this war. If he tried to make contact, he'd be more likely to be turned into some sick experiment, killed, or both, than make a friend.

    Cosmos would settle for 'acquaintance he talked to sometimes.' Isolation does something to a bot, and honestly at this point, maybe becoming a science experiment wouldn't be so bad if he could finally get some interaction with another sentient being.

    Based on the song, because it inspired this fic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcmErbAsI7I

      One of my new top fav transformers fics I've ever read 📚 🫂♥️ amazing post-war cybertron soft-apocalypse sort of vibe, domestic and refreshing, alongside being one of the most accurate and personable portrayals of mental health decline and recline ive read in fiction in general, considering the extent it went to focusing on the mc and their health ; an inspiring and hopeful piece <3

    Summary

    Cosmos heard the click of metal sliding into place from his position pinned, now, to the lab table, the looming form of Shockwave standing threateningly over him.

    “I trust you will perform adequately as a test subject,” Shockwave said, optic roaming over Cosmos’ vulnerable form. Cosmos looked up, hoping the pleading in his eyes would be enough. Would communicate for him.
